DEP - Debian Enhancement Proposals

Debian Enhancement Proposals (or DEPs, for short) offer a device to
organize discussions about various kinds of enhancements in the
Debian project, reflect their current
status and, in particular, archive their outcomes.

DEP workflow: state diagram

In essence, each enhancement proposals is assigned to one or more
drivers which follow the proposals advancing through various
states, until it is finally accepted (or
rejected). Discussions about ongoing DEPs happen in the usual Debian way
(i.e., the most appropriate mailing list, IRC channel, etc.).
